Staffing the Park Gates
Eight years ago I blogged about a trip up to Haleakala National Park in Maui, noticing that at 9:45AM the National Park Service didn’t bother staffing the entry gate, thus not collecting the entry fee. Presumably the variable cost of the staff time wasn’t covered by the few entrants at that early hour.
This week we made the same trip at the same early arrival time — but now the gate was staffed and a Park Service attendant collected entry fees.
